box Rarely have both carried his name: Marvin Gaye - The Master. Master singer, master of harmony and composition teacher, what is often overlooked. He may be less complex than others in Motown (if judged by the yardstick of a Smokey Robinson in particular) but the titles he has written, alone or in teams, have contributed to aura stainless firm Detroit ( Dancing in the Streets, Mercy, Mercy Me, The Bells The Originals for , When Did You Stop Loving Me When Did I Stop Loving You among many others).
Now it is clear that this type of case always let the fan (and Saint Médard d'Aunis can boast of owning a real one) circumspect. What's the umpteenth time hoarding a collection of titles already well known and acquired? 80% of this package was already available and in other respects, they are often alternate takes, rarely superior to the originals. So what? Why dwell on a box whose first version dates from 1995? First
for notes by David Ritz, author of the great Marvin Gaye : A Divided Soul (one of the few books that never leaves my nightstand). fan transition and yet lucid (he has never hidden the ingratitude Marvin legendary for its employees). Ritz its axis (alas too short) record on the conflict between spiritual and temporal in the work of the pastor's son. Say it drives the point of his biography but how not to do the same when you listen and replay the master. Who, I ask you, has put much flesh in his gospel (splashing His Eyes Is On The Sparrow ) and as much fervor in his calls for statutory rape?
And also true for the handful of unpublished mark this box and justify every excess cash in particular the diptych Piece of Clay, I'm going home registered margins of his duet album with Diana . Piece of clay, composed in part by Gloria Jones (no, we will not talk about his illustrious companion!) Marvin sees confront the ghosts of a brutal and education sectatrice so that sees I'm Going Home the prodigal son return to nest. Piece of Clay is perhaps not a startling revelation, but I'm going home is a haunted blues with no real chorus (we are not far from the studio jam) but with minor modulations striking . For
Daniel like Philou and others, it will appear superfluous This anthology of writing that does not in any way to get all the treasures saved by the master (list on request) and does not neglect his album of duets or Vulnerable or Live at the Copa .
